Sapientia Boutique Hotel

Sapientia Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good
"Great location, right next to the University of Coimbra. Staff was very helpful with bag stowage & transport. Breakfast was very good with fresh fruit, juice, pastries, and with eggs & stewed tomatoes. We stayed in a suite with two levels, the bedroom/bath up & living area/kitchen down. The kitchen was well furnished with plates, flatware, cups, etc. The rooms were clean and the staff maintained a high level of care to keep them spotless. The design looked modern with linear appointments and a few old world touches like the rock wall. Some of the design choices were questionable such as the sliding bathroom door with no privacy and no soft surfaces to absorb sound. Noise within the suite resonated throughout. Dinners were average compared to the surrounding choices. I would recommend this hotel if you are visiting the University."
